Gold! I see Zig, I upvote!

Legend!!!

I don't know the answer, just asking the question: Is/Was curses available at the time? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curses_%28programming_library%...

I only remember conio at the time, but without internet you just used what Microsoft gave you. The BBSes I used may have had it, but it's hard to use something if you don't know it exists.

It does look like there is a recent port: https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses

So my guess is curses was not available to DOS at the time, only Unix systems.

As an aside, since it seems the other comments already address the core issue...

No one should be using Lodash in 2025, it mutates your collections, use `ramda` (https://ramdajs.com/) instead.

Unfortunately, a lot of the early core existing packages have dependencies in lodash, or another packages that does so too.

I was having roughly the same thought. I thought to myself, this is something my son would produce, and I'd be super proud, and see through the 90's/Yahoo-ish style.

Then I saw the date of the last update: http://www.hawaiihighways.com/what's-new.htm So comprehensive!

I like this solution better, no bash running a string command.

Could easily prefix eventually_succeeds with timeout.

A bit of a nostalgic read, I bet everyone remembers the first time they tried ChatGPT-4, and the conversations about it at gatherings/BBQs.

But I don't feel like it's gotten any better, if anything I feel like it's been "dumbed-down" a bit (possibly from added safeguards/censorship).

AI coding assistants (e.g. Co-Pilot) has made me a more productive developer, but only in the sense that I type less boiler plate (or ceremony code).

> allow for the formulation of better sources of protein

I don't think the "National Cattleman’s Beef Association" wants that, just to know that beef>Soy is enough.

I wonder if using mouthwash that kills "99%" bacteria make this product useless over time?

Also, does using mouthwash daily negate the need for this product?

Thanks - interesting talk

Just like that time my taxi driver was telling me about "investing" in Bitcoin

Thanks for the links. PCjs is amazing!

According to their Status page it's all resolved: https://status.flyio.net/

Sounds like a good idea.

I wonder how easy it would be to write your own App for it, as it is missing a few I can't live without (Signal and WhatsApp)

I gave up at "the current phase of the moon as an emoji." Looks like so of you guys tried harder than I did

I've had the on-screen keyboard on my phone set to Dvorak for > 5 years, and I just can't switch back to Qwerty. I think it's quite good for the phone.

Running a relay (non-exit node) has been a rewarding and educational experience.

My bitwarden (not LastPass) iteration count was only 5000, even though their default is supposed to be 100,000

The author of the software has some other interesting projects on his poersonal website: www.durlej.net/v/

I'd be interested to know if anyone is using this OS, and for what use case.

Amazing bit of work!

Some of the affects I can think of, to name a few:

Inaccurate or irrelevant answers: ChatGPT is a machine learning model that uses past data to generate responses. This means that it may not always provide accurate or relevant answers to questions, leading to confusion and frustration among users.

Loss of trust: If users notice that many of the answers on the forum are coming from ChatGPT, they may lose trust in the forum and stop using it. This could lead to a decline in user engagement and overall traffic.

Competition with human contributors: ChatGPT's answers may compete with those provided by human contributors, leading to a decrease in the quality and value of the content on the forum. This could make the forum less useful and engaging for users.

Increased moderation: The influx of answers from ChatGPT may require more moderation to ensure that the answers are accurate and relevant. This could require additional resources and time for moderators, leading to increased costs and workload.

I wish there were some sort of monitoring tool for the docker container, so you know if you're actually doing any good (it's working), like the browser extension.

Something like nyx (for tor) but for snowflake.

Cool story - thanks for sharing.

I've got a spare laptop and started a TOR relay (no exit) recently - I'll be on the look out for these kind of errors

Interesting language/script.

Are there any other comparable alternatives?

Would Node/TS-Node be a suitable replacement with a few shell helper functions?

This is basically a package repo of WASM file(s), which seem to have been compiled from Rust source mostly, but other language that can be compiled to WASM would work too.

And from what I've read the CLI downloads the WASM and runs it. The "runs it" part is interesting, as it's cross platform - so does it run a JS engine, e.g like V8 or NodeJS?

I don't personally like the idea, esp since Rust can compile to all those supported platforms anyway, and the native code would be so much faster.

It says on the website that it is opensource, since 2019, but the Github account has zero repos.

The website looks flash, but has many spelling errors and typos, and so if little things like this get through after 3 years of development, then the chances of malicious code getting through is very high.

I'm a 42-YO Dev and a very late bloomer (start of career and learning).

I'm definitely having an existential crisis, more so because I work at a startup. I'm quite certain I'm the oldest in the place, and I feel I stand out for the wrong reasons now.

I've seen a lot of the same things repeating themselves, I find the work repetitive, and my memory is not what it used to be. The problems I'm solving are not "cool" anymore nor new. I also find I am less flexible - this is difficult when trying to reason with younger ppl in higher positions.

I've built up years of knowledge and made many mistakes that I have learnt from, so naturally I want my next step/role to be closely related to software development as possible. I am not a good leader or manager, so my only option really is to move up into the design/arch or BA work, but both are hard to get into if you don't have experience.

I had kids late, so the last half decade has flown and I've somewhat neglected my career.

It's a weird situation to be in.

Joplin seems like a good SimpleNote alternative. And I'm really after the end-to-end encryption

Looks a little like SimpleNote, and also free. Difference looks like Apple tech only.

It's got end-to-end encryption, which is amazing!

I'm hoping SimpleNote will get end-to-end- encryption soon.
